Answer:

H = 2h +35

where H is the sum of height of two trees.

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

There are two trees in John's garden.

Let
$h\text{ feet}$ be the height of shorter tree.

The length of loner tree is 35 feet taller than the shorter tree.

Thus, the height of longer tree is given by

$(h+35)\text{ feet}$

Sum of the two trees heights =

$H = h + (h+35)\\H =(h+h)+35\\H = 2h + 35$

is the required expression for sum of heights of two tree.
